Chapter 187: Chance (1/2)
The whole town on the Peacock's side was in frenzy. Sam's shell which passed through the large hole in the wall, landed on the temporary military post doing quite some damage.
By this time, the Peacock and the soldiers are already trembling in fear. They didn't know what to do. They cannot directly attack them, as their strength is quite low and now with the addition of the impact cannons, they are even more hesitant to make a move.
They don't know these are impact crystals, all they know is that shell is doing quite some damage to wall which is made to defend against thousands of soldiers.
If they made a move and get hit by the shell directly… they didn't even want to imagine that.
Particularly, Peacock is terrified by the development. He just made a proud proclamation that there are more people inside the town and Sam cannot defeat him with his five hundred soldiers and now, Sam is not only destroying the town wall, he is also destroying the town without even entering.
This time he is both angry and afraid and he also realized his mistake, he should have kept his mouth shut, he just wanted Sam to give up and tried to intimidate him by telling him about the trap.
Now only, he realized how stupid he was. As he was thinking, the Deputy came out, his face is still pale and he seemed a little exhausted. He is already ashamed when he heard the plan of the Peacock, but after he heard the explosions, he felt that something was wrong and was about to come out.
The Healers stopped him and only let him go after he was healed. But as he came out, he saw a shell dropping and destroying a nearby military post.
He immediately climbed the watch station on the wall on which the peacock stood, and looked at the situation. The cannons from a far and their expressions of delight when firing on shell after another, Deputy didn't even know how to react.
He really wanted to smack the face of the young lord by provoking this madman.
As the situation was going south, a supervisor suddenly made his way out of the nearby cliff. Sam gestured his soldiers to halt. This supervisor is from the Peacock's side.
Seeing this, the supervisor, who greeted Sam earlier came out and also started walking towards him.
”I think you cannot use these weapons in this war. This war is test of the abilities between both you and the young lord and it is based on how well both of you will use the soldiers and citizens along with the surroundings.
In short, this is a test for your abilities, you cannot just bring some new weapons from the duke's military and use them here.”
The supervisor from the Peacock's side said with a serious expression. Sam didn't answer just yet and looked at his supervisor. Seeing that he isn't speaking at all and even trying to avoid Sam's gaze, he understood one thing.
This supervisor is here only for namesake. Duke seems to have informed something to them.
Sam turned back to the Peacock's supervisor and said.
”Well, these weapons don't belong to the southern star military. They are created by me and that too with in the past six months.” As he said that he took out all his professional badges.
This made the supervisor to swallow the words that he was about to say. He saw the rank 5 and pseudo rank 3 badges, he didn't even know how to react properly.
”Is there anything else?” Sam asked with a smirk. He knew why the supervisor came. It is to help the peacock and they wanted to find a loophole to remove the weapons.
But it will not work. Sam already decided to not bother fighting head on anymore and just use his weapons he newly created to do the work for him. He is tired to deal with this peacock.
The Peacock's supervisor was at a loss of word and left the place, Sam them looked at his supervisor who is gulping nervously. He knew what the other guy was thinking. The Duke sent them for namesake. But he must have hid the fact about Sam's profession and also asked them to turn a blind eye if there is any foul play from the enemy.
Sam didn't say anything; he will definitely deal with the Duke and get his payback later.
After the supervisors left, Sam didn't continue shooting. He floated over Harbinger and when he was about same height as the Peacock and the rest, he said in a loud voice.
”You better surrender, as you said the citizens can help the army in case someone invades the town, but at the same time, the invaders can make a move on the citizens too. I hope you guys don't want to go to that extreme. It will save both of us a lot of time and I might even let you guys alive.”
As soon as Sam's word resounded, the soldiers on the Peacock's side are even hesitating. But before they could voice their opinions or discuss, the Peacock already made another big and even the biggest mistake of his life.
”YOU COMMONER BASTARD. HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME LIKE YOU ARE BETTER THAN ME..
$*^^&&%^**$^%^()*(*e&^^&)&**&(*^%&^t^(&&%(***^&%^.”
He let out a string of angry curse, but Sam didn't hear all of them, he is already looking at the peacock as if he was a dead man after the first sentence, the rest of the insults doesn't matter to him at all.
Sam didn't even reply and slowly descended. And went back to the line where cannons are placed.
There are only ten cannons and they are placed wide with a large gap between them.
Sam floated over his harbinger as he started taking one cannon after another. Now, there are a total of fifty cannons and the fifty fire element users from the Dragon Hawk tribe took one cannon each.
The Deputy on the other side was completely dumbfounded and he was overcome with fear.
But this is not over at all, because Sam passed some space jade rings to the fifty members and said.
